Jeep Compass 4XE plug-in hybrid

A plug-in hybrid car for the wilderness
The Jeep Compass is a bit different to most compact family SUVs. While most will never tackle terrain tougher than a muddy puddle outside the school gates, the Compass - being a Jeep - is designed with much more hardcore use in mind. Its four-wheel drive comes courtesy of a 1.3-litre petrol engine driving the front wheels, and an electric motor driving the rear wheels. What's more, this being a plug-in hybrid, a full charge gives you an official electric-only range of just under 30 miles, and official fuel economy of more the 140mpg.
In this CarGurus UK video review, Rebecca Jackson examines the off-road credentials and on-road abilities of the Compass, and how it performs as a daily family car.

I have the previous shape diesel 4x4 auto as I need the family vehicle + towing with off road ability and can confirm its very good. Any wet grass field, snow etc no problem to get through. Ordering my 4xe new version shortly

[@LifeExotics]

Thanks for the great comprehensive review. Still thinking about it.

[@oliverstemp9132]

The Compass looks good

[@mhouslay7281]

Great review thanks. Nicely balanced, informative - doesn’t ‘lose direction’ 🙄

[@CarGurusUK]

Glad you liked it!

[@bijusebastian8276]

Great Review! But, I already have a Jeep Compass.

[@MG-jv7pe]

Thanks for the review!!! Hope this is released in the states soon! We only have the wrangler 4xe and the grand cherokee 4xe

Great review Rebecca but I’m not convinced, especially at £40k.. (Phil)

[@jrs9264]

So nice to see and hear another spot on review by Rebecca.🥳 i see that the SUV/CUV craze has hopped over the pond from the states. The other two vehicles are not sold here, however, i would go Kia/ Hyundai instead , based on cost, warranty, and reliabiity over the Fiat/Jeep. 🤔

[@CarGurusUK]

Thanks for your kind comments

[@johnwhite2143]

Very nice car, i have a diesel jeep renegade and its amazing, thinking about getting a compass in the future at some point, pity they don't do diesel anymore,but that being said id still be happy with the petrol compass or petrol hybrids, I like the look of the trailhawk one but the nighteagle ones look great too, definitely a contender for next car, be a choice between the jeep compass or ford puma or Kia Sportage all are nice

[@zakiradi450]

Not a word about the battery at the back and its use!

[@saairgunner5925]

Thank you for a good review. I have a question, though. It is a plug-in hybrid, so what happens to the AWD if you go off-road and the battery runs out. Are you then stuck in FWD and perhaps stuck in the wildernis?

[@talkandplay]

Very good question ...all electric 4 x4 would be a better option.

[@saairgunner5925]

@@talkandplay , it seems as if that CarGuru chick is not into answering questions. Quite rude, but I notice that she does respond when guys compliment her. Quite unprofessional...

[@jasonfeldman4980]

The car will switch back to gas/petrol hybrid mode before the battery dies completely. all plug in hybrids work pretty much the same.

[@heal41]

I think the battery is charged by the gas engine if it needs to.

[@nigelrowe2204]

@@saairgunner5925 Well I think by referring to her as 'that CarGuru chick' you're even less likely now to get a reply.

[@galkan2]

Can a tow bar be fitted to this car? Can I tow a trailer? The brochure says it is not suitable. Why is it not suitable?

[@administrationbuildinghard8440]

loving this...

[@CarGurusUK]

Great 👍 enjoy

[@abbielindley123]

@@CarGurusUK I will thank you. I hope this is Rebecca haha.

[@tj9382]

Another well rounded and honest review from Rebecca. However, let's just remind ourselves that the slightly higher price point does reflect its off-road capabilities. So perhaps one would expect rivals such as the Peugeot 3008 to be less expensive. Keep up the good work though guys.

[@DevonDumpling70]

Jeep seem to be keen on out pricing themselves.

[@oliverstemp9132]

The Compass E Hybrid is well priced

[@mrstardhi6420]

subcribe because of rebecca, knew her since carbuyer lol and that half inch in height is so her trademark😅😅

[@daleperring5246]

Does the trailhawk/limited 4xe 1.3 have any towing capacity?

[@balachandrangiridharan8886]

What is the actual real world fuel economy?

[@smoothmicra]

Well it looks purposeful, different from the SUV clones out there. That said, it doesn't look like £40K's worth. If I had that sort of money to burn on a family car I think I could do better.

[@marantamil459]

It has alot of options though...

[@mbdulka]

For a PHEV this class? Good luck ... let us know what you find cheaper than this ....

[@ginelgeorge6220]

Nice car, and nice review, but for £40k I would ad £5k more and buy a lexus nx.

[@patrickh7368]

This what I find with the hybrid system, terrible economy when the engine fires up..! Love the hot lipstick 😳 x

[@memberofthelegion5626]

This is a proper SUV, don’t compare it with other so called “SUVs” in this segment that are actually crossovers 😒

[@consty715]

Its a fiat, its a crossover 😂

£40k ? For that ? Stellantis has a sense of humour but the joke’s on you….

[@henrikkoukku2896]

👍🏼😍

[@Manowarmx3]

i get an average fuel economy of 30mpg, lol!

[@consty715]

You always mention that extra 1/2 inch in hight😂

[@stevencampbell1150]

As unfashionable as I'm going to sound I don't see the point in plug in hybrids, that car needs a diesel engine and I don't like the large screen sitting proud of the dashboard.

[@BenzinioB]

Who the hell buys such cars? Even Rebecca is helpless to drag my attention to this "thing"

[@nigelrowe2204]

It's simply replacing the previous model which was not a hybrid. Jeep have done the same with the smaller Renegade model.

[@Ambienfinity]

Great review, the car, hmmm. Likely to be unreliable.

[@nigelrowe2204]

In what way?

[@Ambienfinity]

@@nigelrowe2204 Fiat-Chrysler? Perennial issues with electrics, mainly, although it may be that this Jeep improves that -- hybrid drives are inherently more reliable. And I have owned a Fiat which was no less reliable than anything else I've driven.

[@bman68au]

ARGH! Would you PLEASE stop saying "4-x-e" it's "4-by-e" (you know, like "4-by-4" only it's an "e")

[@mrmawson2438]

😂

[@chrispenn715]

Or just buy a diesel Evoque or Discovery Sport for around the same money..........?

[@MrDuncl]

Have you seen the price of Diesel and congestion charges recently ?

[@chrispenn715]

@@MrDuncl Congestion charge may not be of relevance, depending where you live 🙂 Fuel charges aren't such a big issue when compared with the price of the car in the first place either (having said that, I've just swapped my Evoque for a Chinese EV 😂)

Cheap and nasty.
